IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
MICHAEL MORRIS,
Plaintiff,
ORDER
v.
Case No. 15-cv-564-wmc
WISCONSIN DEPARTMENT OF
CORRECTIONS, et al.,
Defendants.
Plaintiff Michael Morris has filed a proposed civil complaint, but has neither paid the
filing fee nor requested leave to proceed without prepayment.
For this case to proceed,
plaintiff must pay the $400 filing fee or submit a properly supported motion for leave to
proceed without prepayment of the filing fee no later than October 7, 2015.
A motion for leave to proceed without prepayment of the filing fee must be
accompanied by a certified copy of plaintiff’s inmate trust fund account statement (or
institutional equivalent) for the six-month period immediately preceding the date of the
complaint. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2). If I find that plaintiff is indigent, I will calculate an
initial partial payment amount that must be paid before the court can screen the merits of
the complaint under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2). Thereafter, plaintiff will be required to pay the
balance of the filing fee in installments.
ORDER
IT IS ORDERED that plaintiff Michael Morris may have until October 7, 2015 to
submit the $400 filing fee or a motion for leave to proceed without prepayment and a trust
fund account statement for the period beginning approximately February 25, 2015 and
ending approximately August 25, 2015. If, by October 7, 2015, plaintiff fails to respond to
this order, I will assume that plaintiff wishes to withdraw this action voluntarily. In that
event, the case will be closed without prejudice to plaintiff filing the case at a later date.
Entered this 9th day of September, 2015.
